Roundup: Poetry Close Readings and Appreciations

Hello, friends! My blog is now almost eight months old—I hope that you’re enjoying the posts.

I’m entering a busy time, with teaching responsibilities and readings to launch Sonnets, and I’m also in a reflective mood. So for this post I’m providing internal links to my close readings and appreciations of various poets over the last few months, with the most recent ones first.

As always, feel free to leave comments and to subscribe to my blog. Also, a link from your blog to mine would be greatly appreciated, and I’ll be happy to reciprocate with a link from mine to yours (unless you’re into shower cams or vengeful ex-wife pics—my most recent spammers).
